Iren sees innovation as a shared value and wants to develop innovative and participative processes as a means to evolve products and improve the lives of millions of people. 

In line with the strategic plan, Iren promotes the country’s progress by implementing responsible innovation, capable of generating solutions to support the circular economy and energy transition.
